Of short-long metric feet (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

iambic

(Other definitions for iambic that I've seen before include "Type of verse" , "Line of poetry with unstressed-stressed syllables" , "Of a metrical foot of two syllables, one short and one long" , "a type of poem" , "Consisting of short-long metrical feet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
